천국 시민이요 미국 시민인 "동전 목사님"의 책임?

천국 시민이요 미국 시민인 "동전 목사님"의 책임?       악한 포도원 농부 비유가 자기들을 가리켜 한 말인 줄 알고 예수님을 잡으려고 했으나 군중들이 두려워 예수님을 잡지 못하고 그냥 가 버렸던 대제사장들과 율법학자들 ( 서기관들 ) 과 장로들은 어떻게 해서든지 구실을 붙여 예수님을 잡으려고 바리새파 사람들과 헤롯 당원 중 몇 사람을 예수님께 보내 이렇게 물어보게 하였습니다 : “선생님 , 우리가 알기에 선생님은 진실하셔서 사람의 겉모양을 보지 않으시고 진리대로 하나님의 교훈을 가르치시기 때문에 누구에게도 거리낌이 없으십니다 .   그런데 로마황제에게 세금을 바치는 것이 옳습니까 , 옳지 않습니까 ?   우리가 바쳐야 합니까 , 바치지 말아야 합니까 ? ”   그러나 예수님은 그들의 위선을 아시고 “왜 나를 시험하느냐 ?   데나리온 하나를 가져와 내게 보여라”하고 말씀하셨습니다 .   그들이 그것을 가져오자 예수님은 “이 초상과 글이 누구의 것이냐 ? ”하고 물으셨습니다 .   그들이 “황제의 것입니다”하고 대답하자 예수님이 “황제의 것은 황제에게 , 하나님의 것은 하나님께 바쳐라”하고 말씀하셨습니다 .   그래서 그들은 예수님의 말씀을 듣고 말문이 막혀 버렸습니다 ( 마가복음 12:12-17, 현대인의 성경 ).   저는 이 말씀을 마태복음 22 장 15-22 절과 누가복음 20 장 19-26 절 현대인의 성경 말씀과 연관해서 묵상할 때 오늘은 예수님께서 “데나리온 하나를 가져와 내게 보여라” [“ 세금으로 바치는 돈을 내게 보여라 ”( 마태복음 22:19, 현대인의 성경 )] 하고 말씀하시자 바리새파 사...

Conclusion (1 Thessalonians)

Conclusion (1 Thessalonians)           The grace of God is with the Lord-centered community church that the Lord is building (1 Thess. 1:1; 5:28). When Apostle Paul started writing the letter to the Thessalonian church saints, he said “Paul, Silas and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you” (1:1). Also at the end of the letter, he wrote to them “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you” (5:28). Paul, who began the letter with grace and ended the letter with grace, prayed that the God’s grace always be with the Thessalonian church saints because the Thessalonian church was found by the grace of God. Here, the Thessalonian church was found by the grace of God means that the Thessalonians, who were serving idols (1:9) were chosen by God in love (v. 4) and the gospel came to them with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction (v. 5) so that they turned to God from idols to se...

Introduction (The Book of 1 Thessalonians)

  Introduction                What is a community?  How should the body of the Lord be established as the Lord's community?  How should the Lord's church and the Lord-centered community be?   I personally became interested in community by studying Paul theology at Westminster Theological Seminary.  So, as I was studying theology, I was studying intermittently by buying books and reading books about church and community.  I did so because I wanted to learn.  I really wanted to know what the Bible says about the true church and community.  The reason I wanted to know and learn about the church was because I was kept on hearing the negative news about the church.  As I kept hearing the negative news about the church, I had been in a lot of trouble and asked myself these kinds of questions: ‘Certainly what the Bible says about the church or community is not like this,...
